  • Nuclear-related classified documents were never presented to Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

  • According to The Washington Post, the FBI found classified papers on a foreign nuclear system.

  • Trump said on August 26 that the FBI was trying to get him to reveal his nuclear secrets.

Donald Trump dismissed the idea that he may have taken nuclear secrets to Mar-a-Lago as a public relations stunt.

According to The Washington Post, FBI agents found classified documents about a foreign government's nuclear-defense capabilities during their search of Trump's Florida estate.

The report didn't say which foreign government the documents were about or where they were located.

The FBI has been accused of planting evidence by Trump, who has denied having any classified documents in Mar-a-Lago.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that the nuclear weapons issue is a hoax. There are the same sleazy people involved. The FBI wouldn't allow us to inspect areas at Mar-a-Lago with our lawyer or others present. Anyone planting information?

The Washington Post reported that the FBI was looking for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The FBI did not find any.

After the DOJ released a redacted version of the affidavit underpinning the search, Trump described the nuclear documents claim as FBI "public relations subterfuge."

The affidavit was heavily redacted. He wrote on Truth Social that there was nothing mentioned on "Nuclear."

The representatives for Trump did not reply immediately.

The Espionage Act was one of three federal laws being investigated by the Mar-a-Lago search team.

A federal judge in Florida approved the former president's request for a court-appointed third party to review the seized files.
